stewblack Posted October 18, 2020 Posted October 18, 2020 If this has already been shared I'd love to say I'm sorry. But no. It bears sharing more than once. Virtuosity and a great creative, fun idea. (Sorry to those who didn't realise that playing a Harley Benton really does make you a better player - this is the definitive proof) 8 1 Quote
Mykesbass Posted October 18, 2020 Posted October 18, 2020 Perfect example of 'just because you can doesn't mean you should' (bass player, not Ella). Quote

wateroftyne Posted October 18, 2020 Posted October 18, 2020 Well, I guess people had to find something to do during lockdown... Quote
stewblack Posted October 18, 2020 Author Posted October 18, 2020 (edited) I mean, he's only doing what we all do surely? I'm currently trying to play a couple bars of a Charlie Parker solo in all 12 keys. It's a challenge, it's fun and it's a learning experience. This is Mr Navarro doing the same. His technical ability is just so much higher than mine that's all. (The Charlie Parker thing was a suggestion on FB not my idea) Oh and if you watch his video on Music Theory it's clear he's a really intelligent nice bloke too. But as has often been said before each to their own. I guess if it's not for you, you stop watching. Simples. Edited October 18, 2020 by stewblack 4 Quote

Who can say. I often fall into the trap of assuming when I see anything bass related that makes me go wow! I have to come here and share it. I forget that me enjoying something doesn't equate to every one enjoying it. I was going to share some dude playing bebop on a double bass which was another piece of unbelievable playing but maybe I won't risk getting my buzz harshed. 3 Quote

I'm just less keen on people playing bass over Ella. Quote

Nail Soup Posted October 18, 2020 Posted October 18, 2020 Pedants hat on...... isn’t it impossible by definition to play scat on a bass? I thought scat meant the human voice doing an improvised instrument-like performance? Quote
hooky_lowdown Posted October 18, 2020 Posted October 18, 2020 Scat means something else where I come from! 🤔😉😆 5 Quote

No I was trying to be clever and use bebop language - you're harshing my buzz man, it was a failed attempt at humour. Edited October 18, 2020 by stewblack 2 3 Quote
